A.J. Green On The Fallacy Of The Trap Game: "We Lost To Freakin' Cleveland"

The Bengals and Browns are a bitter, bitter rivalry. For Ohioans, it's almost as bad as soap vs. human skin-you just have to pick a side. It makes sense, then, that A.J. Green would be upset about losing to the Browns, but it would make sense regardless
